The current paper reports four new species of lichenforming and two lichenicolous fungi new to Latvia, together with a list of lichenicolous fungi (61 taxa) known for Latvia, including their hosts and distribution data in the country (Table 1)
Spot-tests were determined with 10% KOH (K), sodium hypochlorite (C), paraphenylenediamine in ethanol (Pd) and Lugol’s solution (I), and secondary chemistry by thin layer chromatography (TLC) using solvent C (Orange et al 2001)
